What To Take On A Cruise Through Panama Canal

Before you jump into a taxi and head off to Fort Lauderdale to catch your cruise ship, it might be a good idea to make a list of what to take on a cruise through Panama Canal. Getting excited for your upcoming holiday should not cause you to forget certain important belongings at home or you might not enjoy your holiday once you set off. Making a list of all the important items to bring along on your holiday will ensure that you don’t forget anything.

What to take on a Cruise through Panama Canal:

Your passports and Visa

The right clothing

The right accessories

Extra cash

Chronic medications

Bring your Important Documents

When you are trying to determine what to take on a cruise through Panama Canal, you should remember to check whether you need a passport or visa. While U.S citizens do not need visas to enter certain ports in Panama, there are others that may require them so it is always a good idea to look through your itinerary to make sure.

Bring the Right Clothing

When you begin packing your clothing, deciding what to take on a cruise through Panama Canal can be tricky but remember, it can get extremely hot during the day (with temperatures averaging about 80 degrees) and so you’ll want to bring light, cotton clothing along with you, as well as a hat and sunglasses. Since you’ll be travelling through rainforests during certain parts of your trip, you’ll also want to bring a rainjacket along with you.

Bring the Right Accessories

When you travel on a luxury liner, you won’t need to bring along necessities such as toilet paper or towels since the hotel will usually supply you with these items. You will, however, need to bring along sunscreen and insect bite lotion just in case there is no drug store on board.

Bring Extra Cash

When on holiday, you never know when you might suddenly come across a souvenir that you simply “must have” or an item of clothing that you would like to buy and show all of your friends and family back home. Bring along some extra cash but make sure that you store it at the hotel and don’t advertise the fact that you are carrying money. Whenever you go on an excursion, you can take some of your money along with you to shop.

Medications and What to Take on a Cruise through Panama Canal

If you are going to be sailing through the canal for weeks on end, you’ll want to ensure that you bring along your chronic medication, as well as a prescription for your medication just in case you lose your first bottle. It is important to ensure that you inquire about the stops that you will make and call ahead to ensure that they have a drug store in the area so that you don’t have to go without your chronic medication in the event that you lose your medication and your prescription.
